To most people, the 10
Commandments are those theylearned in Sunday School.
However, exactly what they learned
depended on which Sunday School they
attended, and most folks dont know that.
Fr. Clarence Sickles, a retired Episcopal
priest, learned about 10 years ago most peo-
ple also dont know which set of
Commandments is posted on the
Northhampton County, Pa., Courthouse,
even after a controversy about their appro-
priateness landed them on the front page of
a daily newspaper.
Those are the Jewish Commandments,
he said in a recent interview in the lobby of
Heath House, the retirement community he
founded and now calls home with his wife,
Jean.
Most people might think all the
Commandments are Jewish, but Sickles
notes there are two versions of the tablets
Moses brought down from Mount Sinai
(think Charlton Heston in the movie). In
addition, official Judaism made a few
tweaks as well.
The disparity in versions, plus the
knowledge that most people dont even
remember the commandments, even
Episcopalians who, through the use of the

During practices, members of the Hackettstown High
School golf program worked diligently to improveupon the areas of the sport that needed to be sharp-
ened. In matches and in tournaments, the Tigers competed
to the best of their abilities and proved to be sturdy chal-
lenges for even the toughest opponents.
Those are great attributes for any team to possess and
what makes it even more special is to realize that the Tigers
enjoyed themselves on the course throughout the spring as
well.
Hackettstown head coach Mike Andrusin is proud of the
Hackettstown High School Golf Team on Par
spirit and mental toughness with which the student-athletes
on his roster played this year. He recalls some of the top
performances from the 2013 season.
Our last match of the year was a loss to Madison by one
shot 171-170, Andrusin said. Madison just came off a
(NJSIAA) Tournament of Champions performance a few
days earlier so we all knew they had talent, plus they beat
us last year by nine shots and only lost two seniors. We
were without our No. 1 and No. 4 player that day and our
guys were thinking lets play our last high school match and
just have fun. We ended up posting our lowest round at
Panther Valley CC this season, 171 or 27 over par as a team.
Peter Mahal posted a season- best for himself shooting two
over par 38. Kyle Chesney played better than his average
and shot 42. We also got unexpected scores of 46 from

Here comes summer! Most of us aredreaming of long lazy days of warmsunshine and fun-filled, family activi-
ties. School is out and the sound of childrensboisterous fun fills our neighborhoods. You
may not notice another sound that begins as arumble and then moves to a loud growl. Thisis the sound of a hungry child.
Throughout the school year, hungry chil-dren are supported by school-based pro-grams. When school is out for the summer,parents need to stretch their already strainedbudgets to feed their children for the longsummer days. St. James Episcopal Churchin Hackettstown has been filling this gap forfamilies in the greater Hackettstown area forthe past five years. Each year, they providelarge bags of food to hungry children every
two weeks throughout the summer. UnitedWay of Northern New Jersey has been a faith-ful partner in this mission, providing majorfunding for the Summer Backpack Program.
The United Way and St. James have col-lected and raised enough food last summerover $26,000 worth - to meet the needs of ourareas children. With continued economicpressure, the program grew to serving 270children as many formerly middle class fam-ilies could not make ends meet. St. Jameschampions food-raising, last year collecting$12,000 worth of food. The United Way ofNorthern New Jersey supplied the funding forthe rest of the budget.
The food drive begins with the
Hackettstown Memorial Day Parade aschurch members start the Peanut Butter driveby collecting jars from onlookers along theparade route. The summer program alsoreceives donations of fresh produce from
local farms like Tranquility Farms, LittleWing Gardens, retailers like SAMs Club andfrom individual backyard gardens. HotBagels Abroad and Valley Bagel providewarm fresh bagels. Last year the SummerBackpack Program was blessed with anangel donor who donated enough boxes ofcereal, canned vegetables, soup, pancakesmix, macaroni n cheese, meals-in-a-can,tuna fish and canned chicken to feed all ourchildren for the last three weeks of the sum-mer.
Now St. James Episcopal Church is call-ing all angels big and small to come forwardto help us prepare for this summer. We arelooking for both corporate sponsors and pri-vate donors. We welcome all volunteers tohelp us shop, pack and give the bags to ourclient families. This program is perfect forgroups, families and young children.
To volunteer or donate please contactLinda DeLoreto at 908-763-1634 or emailsummerbackpack@gmail.com. For moreinformation about this program or any of St.James other outreach ministries please visitour web or Facebook sites.

Brent Camporini and 45 from freshman
Josh Thomas. I was going into this match
not thinking the final score would come
down to the last group on the course, but itdid. What an exciting unexpected way to
finish the year.
Our best team score for the year came
at Mount Tabor CC against Morris Tech.
The match was a victory for us 166-208.
The highlight was Cameron Hogan shooting
the low round of the year, even par 36. He
made an eagle two on the par 4 first hole
and his reaction was one I or the team will
never forget.
The senior class definitely made a good
impression for the Tigers this spring.We had a great group of seniors this
year, eight in total and five who were regu-
larly in the lineup, Andrusin said. Three
in particular stand out as the glue of the
team. Chesney, Mahal and Hogan have
anchored the squad for the last two seasons
and have all been a part of back to back
NJAC (Northwest Jersey Athletic
Conference) Freedom Division
Championships (2011-2012). All three have
a quest to get better and bring that desire to
the rest of the team. All three have beenselected first Team All- Freedom Division
performers in their varsity careers. Kyle was
selected to his third first Team All Freedom
Division and both Peter and Cameron have
been selected twice first Team All Freedom
Division. The three of them didn't carewhere I put them in the lineup. They pushed
each other and the team to compete and
score lower.
A number of other student-athletes on
the roster also made noticeable improve-
ments to their golf games throughout the
season.
Dan Makarevich along with the three
seniors listed above all dropped their scor-
ing average by at least one shot from last
years totals, Andrusin said. Our last two
lineup spots were an open competition allspring. Senior Evan Bolling and Anya
Cerniglia took control of those spots
halfway through the year and finished
strong. Cerniglia medaled at the H/W/S
(Hunterdon Warren/Sussex) Girls
Championships in April. Camporini, sopho-
more Matt DiMarzo and Thomas all gained
varsity experience in the lineup this spring.
Hackettstown finished the season with
an overall record of 14-7, including a 10-4
record in the Freedom Division. They also
placed seventh in theHunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament and
continued from front page
Golf Team on Par...10th in the NJAC Tournament. The contri-
butions of the class of 2013 will be missed,
but not forgotten.
It will be tough to say goodbye to this
group of fine people, Andrusin said. Theyall have contributed to back to back
Freedom Division Championships in 2011
and 2012, qualified for (NJSIAA) State
Sectionals three years in a row and dropped
their own and team averages three years in
a row.
I inherited a really good group of
players when I took this job in 2011. We had
top players as seniors in 2011 and 2012 and
this spring is no different. The champi-onship banner in the gym and plaques on
the wall will never go away. They can
appreciate their mark on this program and
they all will be missed next spring.

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Long ValleyImagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers
would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments
would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token
would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed
using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scien-tists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turn-
ing or twisting movements?
Advances in computers and engineering technologies have
been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both ana-
lyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before
realized.
According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of comput-
erized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the
most skeptical patients. Its called the ProAdjuster and is the latest,
state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in
the Long Valley area
The ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the
spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that is
often the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and else-
where in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular condi-
tions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients
say that its like getting a mini-massage.
It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any
joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plan-
tar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance
companies including medicare.
Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the ProAdjuster lies in its
advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest
amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely pre-
cise adjustment. He says that Even though traditional forms of
adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique
because of how gentle it is and does not involve
any twisting, especially in the neck. Many peo-
ple love getting adjusted with traditional manual
techniques, all of which are safe and effective,
but there are a large number of people who never
get to experience the amazing benefits of chiro-
practic because they are scared to have their
spines adjusted in that way, says Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, Now,
there is no longer a reason for anyone to be weary. The
ProAdjuster is perfect for anyone who has been thinking about
going to a chiropractor, but hasnt yet made that decision. Dr.
Michael S. Hyjek, wants everyone to be able to experience thesesame benefits and if you have any of the following conditions,
the ProAdjuster may be the answer youve been looking for
Low back discomfort Fibromyalgia
Sciatic nerve pain * Planter Fascitis
Neck and shoulder pain Knee or hip pain
TMJ dysfunction Scoliosis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Arthritis
Headaches Sports injuries

extremely gentle. There is no guesswork, and its safe for indi-
viduals of all ages. Call our office today and mention this article
to receive a FREE ProAdjuster analysis to pin-point your prob-lem area and see how the ProAdjuster can help. Call within the

1928 Book of Common Prayer, recited them
every week, led Sickles to write a book he
feels is more relevant to todays believer,
Jewish or Christian.The book, The New Ten Comandments,
with an Account of the Historical
Development of the Mosaic Decalogue, was
self-published and is being distributed pri-
marily by Sickles.
His audience is not only the
Episcopalians he led through many years of
parish ministry, but anyone in the Judeo-
Christian tradition who doesnt know the
history of the Commandments.
Sickles said he found six or seven books
on the Decalogue, none of which he consid-ered very good. He researched Biblical
scholarship and discovered very little evi-
dence of when changes were made, even in
St. Augustines writings. He also discovered
neither Jesus nor St. Paul mentioned the
first few commandments as if sure everyone
knew them intimately.Im a parish priest, not a scholar,
Sickles said. There werent any courses on
the Commandments when he attended sem-
inary, although he did take a class on them
about six years ago. He also read extensive-
ly in the works of Philo and Josephus, two
first century Jewish Historians
But more than doing research on the
original versions of the Commandments,
Sickles decided to write a version he con-
siders more relevant to today.
His New Ten Commandments:I. Honor the source of creation
II. Perform by high standards
Fr. Clarence Sickles...continued from front page III. Keep promises and agreements
IV. Plan time for recreation
V. Obey sound authority
VI. Protect others from hurt and harm
VII. Live a moral and healthful lifeVIII. Safeguard the property of others
IX. Practice honesty and justice
X. Be content with what you have
At 92, Sickles isnt resting on the laurels
of his first book. He has written a childrens
book, The Happy Christmas Tree, which is
being published through Ex Libris. Once
that is done, both books will be available on
the Internet.
He is working on a second childrens
book, based on a story he used to tell hiseight children when they were small.
Sickles is also researching a book on the
Trinity, although, Im not sure I have the
energy for it.
Anyone who talks to him believes he
really does.

AHackettstown resident is offering a good deed - the
gift of music - to those who are interested in music
lessons and instruments.Shawn Leonhardt is making quite a name for himself
with his Institute of Sound. Leonhardt accepts donations of
musical instruments and then distributes them to individu-
als in need, who perhaps cannot afford to buy them. He also
offers free music lessons on many instruments, helping
those who may not otherwise be able to afford private les-
sons.
Leonhardt, originally from Indiana, and now residing in
Hackettstown, recently started his non-profit charity and
has been sharing his knowledge and inspiration to others in
the community and beyond.
In a phone interview last week, Leonhardt said he is ask-ing for donations to fund his organization, and is looking to
be known across north Jersey and perhaps, one day, nation-
ally. As a musician, he started on guitar, and now writes on
guitar and mandolin, and would like to eventually have a
storefront to run his non-profit organization, and it could be
a songwritng studio as well.
Leonhardt said with the lessons he offers, he would first
go to a student's location/home, and then when students feel
comfortable they can come to his home/location. Since he
recently started the organization, it has "really, really
grown," he said.
"I want to show everyone what I'm doing," he said.He wants to get others involved with keyboards, clarinet,
saxophone, mandolin, ukelele, or guitar, and more. He has
received many donations of instruments thus far, and even
if they are broken, "I will gladly take them," he said.
And with this instrument sharing, he would like to showstudents that there are many options with all of the types of
instruments he may have. It will likely show them that peo-
ple are in fact donating to his cause.
Leonhardt tries to get to know recipients of the instru-
ments before he donates an instrument to them. He tries to
find out if they really have an interest in playing a musical
instrument and a need for it - that way he can determine if
recipients, on occassion, simply would want to acquire an
instrument for the purpose of selling it - which is not part of
the purpose.
Leonhardt has a true interest in music himself. He writes
songs almost every other day, for example, and eventuallyhas a lot of songs to choose from.
With his students, he notes that he will "try to approach
it so that they play things that they want to play."
And he also has an interest in doing the good deed of
helping soldiers with PTSD or brain injuries. This good
deed will certainly help soldiers and veterans, who deserve
a hand from their community.
In addition he would like to help the Hackettstown com-
munity and region "to be more fine-arts friendly."
He said he is really trying to spread about what it is he is
doing, and, in fact, increased his "likes" on facebook from
30 to 1,100 since earlier this year. Right now, of course,Leonhardt has no "brick and mortar" structure, no store-
front, that he can call his location for Ins titute of Sound. But
eventually, he has the goal of having his own es tablishment.
"Things are really moving forward," he said.
He notes that he has the knack to do almost any repair,for instance, and if guitars need bridges, or if they are not
playable, he accepts donations anyway. Clarinets, for
instance, that are in need of pads or recorking, can be fixed.
His contact information is instituteofsound@yahoo.com,
and those interested can look up Institute of Sound on
Facebook as well.
Facebook has really helped him out, he said, and he is
trying to get the word out to newspapers, and radio stations
as well.
He has an interest to "do as good as I can for my com-
munity." His heartfelt good deeds can perhaps show that
friendliness and harmony is a good path.He said, his goal is "Tutoring adults and children in the
world of music - specializing in lessons, repairs, consulting
on purchases, and songwriting. Instrument donations (in
any condition) are welcomed and needed! Please help those
who cannot afford to play music!"
Referring to the legal description of his organization,
Leonhardt said "Institute of Sound is a sponsored project of
Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.
Contributions for the charitable purposes of Institute of
Sound are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law."
He added, "people can make tax deductible contribu-
tions for Institute of Sound, they just have to do it through

my sponsor until I have the money to pay IRS fees to get
501c (3) myself."
Quite simply, he has the the passion to "teach music
to anyone and everyone. I will do my best to provide free
instruments and musical instruction to those who cannotafford it."
Leonhardt said his goal with his charity is to donate
refurbished musical instruments and give free lessons, and
adds that if individuals are wishing to be a professional
musician or to musically compete, "then weekly paid les-
sons at a studio are the best option." Students, young or old,
with just an interest, goal, or hobby of music, however, may
not be able to afford this, and he can help.
Leonhardt said he puts the teaching in the hands of
the student, by first showing the basic entry playing and
care skills. "The next important step is guiding them in how
to take control of the advancement of their musical abili-
ties," he said.
Resources on the internet can help individuals contin-
ue learning on their own. Getting parents involved in the
teaching process can be a "perfect parent/child bonding
activity," he said. Leonhardt also added that he works to
find an instrument for the student and get them started - and
always tries to be available if the student wants to contact
him with any questions.
Leonhardt is quite open-minded and considerate when
he says, "This charity grows more everyday and I am
always open to any comments, input, and of course any
kind of help. Help spread some music is what I say!"
He also notes that he is skilled, but not an expert ateverything. "Some instruments I receive to donate, I have
never played or repaired before, however, I have a knack at
figuring them out very quick," he said, adding that he i s best
at teaching and breaking down musical theory.
Leonhardt is interested in being a teacher who can find
an answer for what the student seeks.
"My goal in my community is to donate instruments
and lessons, while on a national level I hope people are
interested and like what I am doing. No matter where you
are, if you want to learn to play music, just message (me)
and I will point you in the most affordable and easy path
there is," he said."Leonhardt said, "Eventually I wish to build this into
something very big. Often people say why not continue
schooling and become a band teacher? Well I have bigger
goals than that and the structure I would be required of, is
not for me. Same with opening a music store... yes, like
everyone, I need basic bills paid and insurance, but I am not
a 'profit' type person. I want to give away music, I feel it
should be free. I would rather work hard at fundraising, than
trying to run a regular store. I would like to help instrument
sharing programs everywhere. Any instruments, repair sup-
plies, parts, or money donated will be transparent and put to
good use. I am a very hardworking individual and I wantInstitute of Sound to be my life's work. I have many person-
al music projects I am working on and any money I may
one day make, I will put as much as I can back into Institute
of Sound. I put my own money into it already. If anyone is
truly interested in what I am doing and wishes to donate, I
will answer any more questions. I will also gladly provide
musical services. If you are a business that needs a jingle
written, I am an excellent songwriter. Just ask... If it has to
do with music... just ask. "

In a phone interview last week, Provost Jim Pattersonsaid Centenary College is launching several new pro-
grams which add to an impressive early part of 2013.First, a new healthcare administration program is to be
launched. "We're looking forward to that," he said. He saidthey made the hire to prepare the courses, and added, "we'revery excited with that."
This, he said, is the "best new academic program we'reworking on."
He also said the college received an $800,000 grant, andthey will be renovating Church Street and putting sidewalksdown the entire length of the street leading up to the school.There will also be a bike path, benches, and lights.
This state grant is considered to be for a transportationenhancement program for sidewalk and streetscape
improvements."This project, which will commence in 2014, will be a
collaborative project with the town of Hackettstown," saidDr. Barbara-Jayne Lewthwaite, Centenary College presi-dent. She added that the improvements will be "designed tostimulate Main Street activity by our students and encour-age residents of Hackettstown to walk to the Centenarycampus events that are open to the community."
"It will also alleviate current safety issues when walkingon Church Street," she said, adding that it will improvestreet safety.
In other college news, the Centenary College equestrianteam won the national championship in May, being named

sponsored by the United States Equestrian Federation(USEF), as the events most outstanding rider at theIntercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) champi-
onship.The individual champion was Cori Reich, under thedirection of Tara Clausen. Patterson said he was "justdelighted" at the news of their success.
Reich, a native of Ivyland, Pa., wil now have the oppor-tunity to train with world-renowned equestrian coaches thissummer.
Also, the college opened up a new environmental center,and they have "just done wonders with that," said Patterson.
Centenary College and the New Jersey Department ofEnvironmental Protection celebrated the opening of theCentenary College Environmental Science Center at theCharles O. Hayford Fish Hatchery in Hackettstown on May9.
This Environmental Science Center, which features aninnovative laboratory, classroom and faculty researchspace, will serve as an experiential learning facility forEnvironmental Science students.
A press release from the college states that the Collegeand the hatchery have partnered to support and preserve thegoals of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife asCentenary students have volunteered or completed intern-ships each semester at the Hatchery. Students will learnfrom experts how to address wildlife management, theoperations of the facility, and the fish restocking effortsacross the state, so this new partnership is a natural exten-sion of that relationship, college officials said.
As a result of this initiative, Centenary students, underthe supervision of Dr. Lauren Bergey, Associate Professorof Biology, and Dr. Joseph Bucci, Assistant Professor of
Biology, will have hands-on experience in the field."This is a win/win experience for all involved and will
provide students in aur newly launched Environmental
Science program with state of the art resources where theycan gain valuable hands-on experience," said Dr. Barbara-Jayne Lewthwaite, President of Centenary College.
Finally, the Centenary College graduation was heldMay 18 and Valedictorian Allison Nowicki spoke at thegraduation noting that, the Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzuonce said, At the center of your being, you have theanswer! You know who you are, you know what you want.We all have choices to make, plans to fulfill. We are contin-uing down a beautiful journey that will challenge us alongthe way, but no matter what, we will all come through withpurpose.
In the end, its just us and what matters is seeing the
beauty in the moment, the inspiration in every path wechoose. As we go forth on another step of our journey, letschoose to be happy. Lets not be delicate but vast and bril-liant. Lets not only find our purpose in the big picture, notonly when life is going well, but in the (smallest) momentsand our most challenging times.
"As we leave this familiar place, this place we knowas home, remember that to be outstanding we must be com-fortable with being uncomfortable. Lets challenge our-selves to take risks, be brave."
"Here we are on the final leg of our journey andalthough the choices we've made and the paths we followedto get here are all different, it took perserverence, dedica-
tion and plenty of hard work along the way. For many of usthe journey involved hours spent in the library, weeks of

research, and many nights up until the smallhours of the morning. Sacrifices were madealong the way, but today, standing at thepinnacle of our educational experience, it isall worthwhile."
"None of us have embarked on this
odyssey alone. Through the support of ourloving families, diligent professors, and car-ing friends, we have all made it! To thesepeople in my life I am truly grateful."
"Every experience, encounter, andperson we have met along the way hashelped to shape our views of the world andour views of ourselves. We achieved our
goals from our support system and an innatedesire to succeed. We are spurred forwardby another element-crucial yet intangible:inspiration."
"Webster defines inspiration as 'adivine influence or action on a personbelieved to qualify him or her to receive and
communicate sacred revelation.'""However, we all have our own ideas
about what it means. Some of us have seeninspiration in others, and the kindness theyhave shown us, while some have seen it inthe beauty of the world through the bless-ings we've received," she said.

T
he Growing Stage - The Childrens
Theatre of New Jersey, located in
the Historic Palace Theatre on Route183 in Netcong, New Jersey is proud to
announce their 2013 2014 season:

32nd season and is the first New Jersey pre-
miere running September 27th through
October 27th, Fridays at 7:30PM,
Saturdays and Sunday matinees at 4:00PM.
The production is based on the Oscar
winning DreamWorks film that started it all
with book and lyrics by David Lindsay-
Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori. The
show brings the hilarious story of every-one's favorite ogre to dazzling new life on
the stage. In a faraway kingdom turned
upside down, things get ugly when an
unseemly ogre not a handsome prince
shows up to rescue a feisty princess.
Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a
bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie
with an attitude and over a dozen other
fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of
mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily,
there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.
Full of all-new songs, great dancing and
breathtaking scenery, SHREK THE MUSI-
CAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale
and all irreverent fun for everyone!
Back by Popular Demand, its

DEER, running November 22nd through
December 22nd, Fridays at 7:30PM,
Saturday and Sunday matinees at 4:00PM.
This stage presentation is BIGGER and
BETTER than EVER. It tells the timeless
story of a true misfit who transforms into a
beloved hero. Set in a magical, holiday
world in and around the North Pole, and
populated by endearing characters from a
talking snowman to flying reindeer our
production will feature Johnny Marks
well-known Christmas songs and the
enduring Christmas spirit of the television
special, adapted by Robert Penola, which
has been seen by over one billion peoplesince 1964.
In 2014, the World Premiere of THE
SECRET LIFE OF HUBIE HARTZEL by
Susan Rowan Masters graces the Palace
stage, running February 7th through March
2nd, Fridays at 7:30PM, Saturday and
Sunday matinees at 4:00PM. This story is
about the perils of life in fifth grade.
Humor helps to lighten this radio-style
entertainment for all ages as Hubie deals
with his problems. Hes failing school, hes
stuck with an impossible older sister, his
beloved family cat is sick, and hes the tar-
get of Ralph Marruci, class bully. But he
has an escape daydreaming. He imagines
himself a prizefighter and draws caricatures
in class of his teachers, family and friends.
Everyone, that is, but the new art teacher
he has a crush on her! Unfortunately,
Hubies attempts at coping with life back-
fire, and he winds up in more trouble than
before. When the perfect plan for revenge
on Marruci blows up in his face, Hubie
finds the courage to stand up to the bully
and do the right thing.
The final main stage show of the season
and second New Jersey premiere is KNUF-
FLE BUNNY: A CAUTIONARY MUSI-
CAL running April 18th through May 18th,
Saturday and Sunday matinees at 4:00PM
and a special opening night performance on
Friday, April 18th at 7:30PM. The story:
girl loves stuffed animal. Girl loses beloved
animal. Girl fights to get animal back. But
throw adventure, song and dancing laundry
into the mix and you get an instant chil-
dren's classic! Six-time Emmy Award win-ner Mo Willems teams up with Grammy
Awardwinning composer Michael
Silversher to create this heart-warming and
hilarious musical. Based on the beloved
The Growing Stage Announces 2013 2014 Season withWorld Premiere and Two New Jersey Premieres

KNUFFLE BUNNY: A CAUTIONARY
MUSICAL follows Trixie, her father, andher favorite stuffed bunny on a trip to the
laundromat. The trip brings wonder, excite-
ment and joy to the lively toddler, until she
realizes she has left her Knuffle Bunny
back at the laundromat. Trixie does every-
thing in her power to make her father
understand the emergency, but her father
fails to see the issue at hand. This brilliant
true-to-life tale is the epitome of children's
theatre, the story itself already proclaimed

Do you remember the Great
Depression? Did you witness the
fall of the Berlin Wall? Did you
watch Armstrong walk on the Moon? Your
neighbor may have.
A volunteer driven community program
has been active in Northwest New Jersey
for the past two years. Called the Life Book
Writing Project, it matches volunteers with
community members who wish to record
their life experiences. The program is free
of charge and aims to capture ones history
by having volunteers conduct oral inter-
views with seniors and transcribing them
into a bound Life Book.
Our older seniors have lived through
some of the most dramatic events in worldhistory. To lose that firsthand account of
history would be wasting a valuable
resource that we would never get back says
Nancy Hess, Director of Skylands RSVP, a
Rockaway based volunteer resource center.
RSVP is part of a national program spon-
sored locally by NORWESCAP, a commu-
nity action program active in Northwest
New Jersey
The interviewers, using digital voice
recorders loaned to them by the organiza-
tion, are trained in interviewing skills and in
working with older adults. The next training
for volunteer interviewers/writers is sched-
uled in Morris County. The training pro-vides the volunteers with questions to ask as
well as tips for active listening. Each com-
pleted book is presented as a gift to the sen-
ior.
Some give these memoirs to family
members, others plan to donate them to the
local library or historical society, and some
just want to hold onto them as a reminder of
their life. One recipient was so pleased with
the result that he considered self publishing
his Life Book. Amazing historical stories
are locked into the memories of many of ourseniors. Its especially wonderful when
these are unlocked for family and friends.
Not too long ago a grateful recipient wrote
a letter to the volunteer after the completion
of the Life Book. The note read in part: I
want you to know how much I appreciated
your help and guidance with my biogra-
phy. You made a mostly uneventful life
book more interesting than it was. It will not
make it to the NY Times Best Seller List,
Senior Memoirs Tell Wonderful Storiesbut it will make it into the hearts of an
appreciative family, friends and me.
Training for new volunteers who want to
put their interviewing, writing and editing
skills to use in the community will take
place at Skylands RSVP's office in
Rockaway. For more information about the
program, or to sign up for the training class,
please call Stan Gabay at 973-784-4900 ext.

It was the perfect mix of great weather, nostalgia, cars,
remembrance and atmosphere. Perched high atop a
building, statues of red, green, peanut, and Ms Brown
M&Ms had the perfect vantage point to see the spectators,
food, vendors, 400 classic cars.and Eddie Munster! Theevent: the 19th annual Memorial Motor Madness. The
event was held Memorial Weekend Sunday at MARS
Chocolate and was sponsored by the Hackettstown Rotary.
This year the event netted $24, 000 to support the Joan
Knechel Cancer Center and Rotary projects serving the
community.
As 3,000 people walked around during the day and
viewed the cars, the sounds of oldies, but goodies, could be
heard thanks to DJ Doc South. Doc South also reminded
people of the meaning of Memorial Day, remembering
those who lost their lives in service to our country and how
we can help those still serving. He took donations of calling
cards and cash to purchase calling cards for service mem-bers stationed overseas, so that they could stay in touch
with family.
Many people gravitated to one area, but it wasnt a clas-
sic car that got their attention. Butch Patrick, TVs Eddie
Munster, was on-site greeting people and signing auto-
graphs.
Butch had a great time [and] would love to comeback.
[He]greeted many fans, shared Hackettstown Rotary Club
President, Bob Eberle, chairman of the event. It was shared
that some people drove hours to meet Patrick and he plans
to have the Munster coach with him next year.
Of course, cars were part of the madness of the event
and winning Best in Show was a 1960 Cadillac CoupDeville owned by John Rylick of Caldwell.
Volunteer Coordinator and Rotary member Kevin
Guyette shared that this was one of the events best years
and next year is our 20th year, and we have some surpris-
es in store!

Today we have the great fortune to
still have an up close and personalview of the family lifestyle of
Thomas Edison. Many of the familys per-
sonal letters, records and diaries have been
preserved and even scanned, categorized
and electronically archived by the dedicated
Thomas Edison Papers Project team at
Rutgers University (edison.rutgers.edu).
The other curators of his home and home
furnishings have come under the care of
professional National Park Service ranger
curators. The NPS West Orange Glenmont
home has also received great private com-munity support from The Friends of
Thomas Edison (foedison.org) to preserve
the artifacts that belong to Edisons person-
al family history. Time has lost the local
West Orange, NJ residents that would give
firsthand accounts of social interactions by
the Edison family. However, there is a
wealth of family items left behind that we
can still sense the spirit and personality of
Thomas Edison, Mina Edison and their
three children growing up in the West
Orange estate home. Todays Thomas
Edison admirers want to peer into the per-
sonal history of his family life along with
the history of his great inventions.What these personal articles have ren-
dered was that the Edison Family enjoyed
using prank toys on their guests and igniting
small explosives for entertainment. The
NPS curators have helped present the fun
mischievous side of the Edison Family by
displaying these items to the public. Mina
Edison supported these activities for her
family in the late 1890s. She added the
Electric Thriller to the Christmas Toy list.
The Electric Thriller was an electric shock
toy. The park curators have showcased this
item as part of the Christmas Holiday exhib-
it collection.
Thomas Edison had a legendary child-
hood history for accidentally exploding
things such as - vacant train cars and the
family basement room from his novice
chemistry experiments. This continued into
his adulthood when he attempted to invent a
gun-powder powered engine for a helicop-
ter. It became a scrapped project when this
invention exploded inside his factory lab.
Still, his dangerous reputation with explo-
Thomas Edison The Dad -Allowed Electric Shock Toys And Home Fireworks
sives did not deter him for having his own
familys stash of fireworks for the July 4th
celebration which he stated was his favoriteholiday. Madeline, Charles and Theodore
were Edisons younger children from his
second wife Mina. They got to have memo-
rable childhoods at the Glenmont estate
home and a chance to enjoy their fathers
orchestrated firework celebrations both at
the Glenmont home and their retreat home
in Fort Myers, Florida. Found in the Edison
archives of household bills is the July 1893firework purchase of: "two dozen packages
of Electric Torp., one Dragons Nest, one
Devil Among the Tailor, one Surprise Box,
one Floral Fount(ain), one (dozen) Rockets,
one (dozen) 10 B.R. Candles, 1 lb. Colored
Fire, and one Firework Balloon 20 ft." But,

the Edison kids did not only have cool par-
ents that bought fireworks, they had a dad
who also invented a few celebratory explo-
sive items in his lab for the family. The
ones that their dad made had a bigger bang
to them.

inventor as a New Jersey American family
man of the late 19th and 20th Century, a
visit to the Glenmont Estate becomes the
perfect time capsule of the Edison family
life. The Glenmont schedule is: Friday,
